           PRAISING DAVID McMILLON'S ACADEMIC ACCOMPLISHMENT

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to praise Bentonville High 
School senior David McMillon for his academic excellence.
  When David was in the 10th grade, he scored a 35 on the ACT exam, 
just one point shy of a perfect score. That excellent score was 14 
points higher than the national average. Now a senior, David took the 
test again, and this time managed to best his previous accomplishment 
by achieving a perfect score.
  David was one of only 17 students who took the ACT last December to 
get a perfect score. It is quite an elite group when you consider that 
over 371,000 students across the country took this test last December. 
And David achieved this honor while serving as captain of the school's 
ACE team, earning the distinction of National Merit Finalist, and 
playing the lead in several Bentonville High School drama productions.
  Madam Speaker, David McMillon should be praised for this 
accomplishment. This talented young Arkansan has a bright future ahead 
of him, and I congratulate him again on this accomplishment.
